A perfect Trap

Chapter 71 — A Perfect TrapElena’s Point of ViewThe kitchen was silent.For the first time since I had returned to this house, everything felt calm. There were no harsh words, no cold stares, and no heavy tension hanging in the air like a storm waiting to break.Just silence.I stood in front of the stove, slowly stirring the soup in the pot. The gentle sound of it simmering filled the kitchen, while the warm scent of the food spread throughout the room.Cooking had always helped me think.My mind had been heavy since yesterday. Too much had happened. Vanessa. The baby. Ben. The secrets we were keeping.My hand gently rested on my stomach for a moment without me even realizing it.A small life was growing inside me.It still felt strange.I took a slow breath and focused my attention back on the pot.Maybe if I kept myself busy, my thoughts would eventually calm down.That was when I heard footsteps.Slow.Light.But very familiar.My body immediately stiffened.Vanessa.She walked

A mother's judgment

Chapter 72 — A Mother’s JudgmentElena’s Point of ViewI was still standing in the middle of the living room when the front door opened again.My heart was already heavy from everything that had just happened. Vanessa was still leaning weakly against the elegant woman, pretending to be injured, while the woman continued staring at me as if I was the worst person she had ever seen.Footsteps entered the house.Strong. Familiar.Ben.The moment he walked into the living room, the woman’s expression changed immediately. The cold anger on her face disappeared, replaced by a bright smile.“Ben!” she called warmly.Ben looked surprised for a second, then his face immediately lit up.“Mom?”He quickly walked toward her.They hugged each other as if they had not seen one another in a long time.I remained standing there silently, watching them, feeling like I did not belong in that room.For a moment, everything between them seemed normal.Then his mother slowly pulled away from the embrace.

A Broken Heart

Chapter 73 — A Broken HeartElena’s POVI walked quickly toward the bed, my legs trembling under the weight of everything I was feeling. The moment I reached the edge of the bed, I collapsed onto it heavily, as if all the strength in my body had suddenly disappeared.Tears were already streaming down my cheeks.I gripped the bedsheet tightly in my hands as my chest rose and fell painfully.Why…Why is my life always like this?I closed my eyes and let out a silent sob.“Is this really my destiny?” I whispered weakly.My voice trembled.“Can’t I have just one moment of peace?”Everything in my life felt complicated.Everything felt painful.Every time I thought things might finally get better… something happened and destroyed everything.Slowly, I placed my hand on my stomach.My baby.The only thing giving me strength now.But even this innocent little life was already surrounded by problems.“Why does everything have to be so frustrating…” I whispered through my tears.At that momen

A silent promise

Chapter — A Silent PromiseElena’s POVThe bedroom remained quiet after my call with Eli and Ela.I sat on the bed, loosely holding my phone in one hand. My thoughts were all over the place. Even though hearing my children's voices had made me happy, it had also left my heart feeling heavy.Slowly, I placed my phone beside me and leaned back against the pillows, staring up at the ceiling.Eli and Ela had said they managed to record Daniel.Solid evidence.Their lawyer believed they had a very good chance of winning the case.That news should have completely relieved me.And part of me truly did feel relieved.But another part of me was still worried.Winning a case against someone like Daniel would never be easy.Daniel was manipulative.Dangerous.He knew how to twist situations to his advantage.Slowly, I sat upright and rubbed my forehead.Maybe... what we really needed was a very good lawyer.Someone experienced.Someone who knew how to deal with people like Daniel.Suddenly, an i

A Dangerous Secret

Chapter 75 — A Dangerous SecretVanessa's POVThe moment I heard Ben's footsteps heading toward Elena's bedroom door, my heart skipped a beat.I quickly moved away from the door and started walking down the hallway, trying to look as normal as possible.I didn't want them to know I had been standing there.Listening.If Ben opened the door and saw me lingering outside, it would be obvious that I had been eavesdropping on their conversation.And that would ruin everything.So I walked a little farther down the hallway just in time.The door opened behind me.I continued walking calmly without turning around, as though I had simply been passing through the corridor.It wasn't until I turned the corner that I finally stopped.The calm expression on my face slowly disappeared.Leaning against the wall, I let out a long breath.My eyes narrowed."So... Elena is pregnant?" I murmured softly.The words felt strange on my tongue.Pregnant.For a moment, I stood there, thinking about everythin
